People spend their lives pursuing many material things that take up most of their time. Be it a promotion at a job or increasing the profits of the business, an individual’s life becomes a constant race to achieve these goals. Constant efforts and dedication are imperative to ensure that those goals are achieved. However, consistent endeavors have also been observed to dull a person’s mind and substantially decrease productivity. Stress accumulates from following a mundane and scripted schedule, and it is necessary to have an efficient outlet that helps relieve it. This outlet can be anything from playing videogames to sports, but it is necessary that the outlet itself does not involve any stressful activities. Because if it does, it will defeat the reason for indulging in it. One company helping eliminate stress from one of the oldest stress relief activities in history is Secret World.
In the past, there were many things like modern technology that was non-existent. However, human feelings like anger, stress, and depression are an entity beyond the reaches of time and have existed for as long as humanity has. With no television, video games, or any modern pass-times to indulge their selves in, people had very few choices of outlets to utilize to relax their minds and enrich their souls. Travelling is an activity that has played a big part in modern development. Travelling has allowed civilization to prosper through many meaningful discoveries. But that is not all traveling was used for.
The World is filled with different cultures and sceneries that are truly a beauty best enjoyed when seen in person. People that have lived in concrete jungles their whole lives can unfortunately only bask their eyes on true nature through pictures. The absence of natural beauty plays a big part in the dullness of a person’s mind and a decrease in productivity. For a person to be active, they need to have an environment that revitalizes their tired mind and heart. Unfortunately, living in a location that is abundant in natural beauty is not an option for the majority. Therefore, it is necessary for a person to travel to beautiful and new places that can take away the stress of their lives and help them charge their mental batteries.
Travelling has many benefits that involve rejuvenating an individual’s mind and body. Still, the changing socio-economic situations of the World also have their downsides and lacks as a person new to traveling and not having much knowledge about their intended destination, making preparations as well the whole traveling phase can severely stress invoking. Ranging from making adequate travel and accommodation arrangements to understanding what the adequate method of interaction is is for the locals of the destination. There are many other small and big details that, after considering many, people tend to shy away and cancel their traveling plans. Antonio Kim Ciccarelli is a person that identified these major hurdles that prevented people from enjoying the beauty mother earth had to provide. Secret World is a platform made to eliminate these chains of restriction and make traveling easy for all.
Secret World is an online platform that was founded in 2014 by Antonio Kim Ciccarelli. Antonio thought about developing such a platform after a fateful adventure getaway he took with his friends. Tired from his daily ins and outs, Antonio decided to take a break and go on a travel adventure to refresh his mind. He got all that he expected and much more. On his retreat, he was able to experience different cultures and exposed to the beauty that existed outsides the walls of a concrete building. However, apart from the gifts of nature, he also gained an understanding of what problems were faced by a person during travels. A lack of knowledge and understanding of local culture and not knowing the tips and tricks of traveling that come with experience can sometimes negatively impact an individual. Therefore, he founded Secret World to enlighten the masses about the knowledge needed to ensure one’s experience is free from all hurdles and stress.
Secret World is known as the ‘eBay for travelers’ as the platform provides a plethora of information and services for the users. Avid travelers can post about their experiences in different lands and different knowledge that can use by people traveling to that location for the first time. Users can find native-made travel guides as well as hire guides for any specific location, make travel arrangements and even buy authentic souvenirs on this platform.
Immediately after the release, the platform received a surge of traffic from people around the globe that aspired to travel but couldn’t due to a lack of specific resources. Secret World successfully fulfilled that lack, and because of this, their increase in popularity was expedited. This platform currently has over 100 million visitors per year and has been ranked amongst the top three global travel and tourism platforms on Amazon.
Secret World has been able to grow significantly due to them staying true to their goals of eliminating all travel hurdles for the people. They are now considered more popular than platforms like Trivago and National Geographic and aim to reach even higher heights in the future.
